Best Friends by Sheri The Original Calming Shag Fur Donut Cuddler Cat & Dog Bed

I wasn’t sure that this bed was any different than any other bed but I was you’re wrong. I have a medium size bed which I got for my 13 pound dog and she loves it and disappears in it. My 60 pound standard poodle also loves it. He has three other beds in the same room and he prefers this medium bed. He’s a lean medium dog being a standard poodle but it is amazing how much my dogs love this bed. Every dog that comes to my house and visit with us immediately is drawn to this bed. Again I have no idea why but I have given some of them as gifts and their owner say the exact same thing. I’m a veterinarian and I’ve been practicing for 33 years and I will tell you this bed is better than any other I wasn’t sure that this bed was any different than any other bed but I was you’re wrong.

I have two small dogs now and when one is in it the other dog drags the bed around the room hoping the other dog will jump out only so they will jump in and take over the bed. It is hysterical to watch. I’ve had this bed for over four years and it holds up beautifully and washes is great. … more

First of all, the 36 inch Large size was too small for a 60-lb Golden and Doodle. They seemed to like the bed, though, although they could only curl up in it. Then I washed and dried it. Disaster. Directions did not say to take out stuffing first (2 bolsters and donut in middle), so polyester cotton stuffing got all bunchy. Faux Fur on outside went from about 2 inches long to laying flat and matted. I swear it shrunk. When I took the batting out to reposition it, I had a dog of a time trying to get it back in—especially the bolsters. I am not happy with this purchase.

I got this for our cat because we just adopted him and he had a problem with over-grooming. Our vet told us it was probably because of anxiety. I was surprised he took to the bed within just a couple of hours! He looked soooo comfortable and I was really happy I got this bed for him! Then, I noticed in the directions that in order to make this bed even better you should tumble dry it on low heat for 10 minutes to loosen the fibers. Who doesn’t want to make their fluffy friend as comfortable as possible? Anyway, I only put it in for 9 minutes. The bed came out extra puffy BUT it was slightly matted around the edges.

I could probably get past that as long as my cat still liked the bed, but when I re-introduced him to it, he was frightened of it! If we set him in it, he jumps out like we’re trying to put him into an erupting volcano. I wish I had not listened to the instructions and had kept it as it was. I’m adding a picture of him right after I unpacked it. … more

I bought this bed recently for my senior cat. She is an easily stressed, scared, and anxious kitty - and while working from home gets anxious when she wants attention that I can’t give her. I was hoping this could give her a calming place to rest. While she's still skeptical of the bed itself, I’ve covered it with a blanket and she loves it! Though the middle doesn't feel super plush, and feels like some of the stuffing is uneven, she loves how plush the sides are and loves kneading it. Haven’t washed it yet, so I don’t know how it will hold up in the washing machine - but so far it’s been great!

Purchased this in the small size for my 20 lbs dog. He kept getting in the middle of our bigger dog bed and pushing our 50 lbs puppy off of it, so I wanted to get him his own bed. Turns out, both he and the 50 lbs puppy prefer this new bed! She squeezes herself into it when he’s playing with a toy elsewhere. Since they both like it, I’ve decided to buy a similar style bed from another brand in a large, since this one is out of stock in large at the time of writing. We’ve had this for a couple days now, and aside from how the pets like it, the quality seems decent. Material is very soft. Not a lot of cushion, but the bigger sizes should have more. The smaller dog has dug into it a little and Purchased this in the small size for my 20 lbs dog.

The smaller dog has dug into it a little and hasn’t made any holes yet. Neither of them have tried to rip it apart yet either. The underside seems to be a waterproof material. There is not a removable cover but it’s machine washable. Came vacuum sealed, but fluffed up rather quickly with a couple minutes in the dryer on low heat as per the instructions. … more

My dogs really like these beds, but after several months, I decided they needed washing. They survived the washing machine fine, but when I removed them from the dryer, on of the two had the exterior “fur” all matted. I brushed it a little to fluff it some, but the texture and the appearance is no where remotely close to what it was before. The attached photo shows the outside after I brushed it out from being matted vs the inside that looks like new.

Wow I am amazed how big a XL bed is , our dogs love it , I wish it stayed more firm for them , I have to fluff it up every day for there nights sleep , they don’t lay in it during the day. I think I would go with a Lg next time because I don’t think I can return it. I feel it would stay firmer if it was a bit smaller but my Whoodle’s fit perfectly on it and have plenty of room . Great bed! I would recommend it over the cheap China ones that are all over social media.

My dogs race each other to this bed at night. I bought a different version (the unoccupied one) as this was out of stock but they just cram into this one. I hope they get these back in stock soon! I almost didn’t want to review and keep this a secret but all dogs deserve a good bed...so I share with you, buy it, your fur babies will love you for it!

My cat often has a little incontinence as she sleeps. I needed something that was really machine washable, and this bed is working out great after I've washed it 5-10 times already. You'll see comments in other reviews about how the fur on the sides gets matted when the bed is put in the dryer: this is true. However, it's still a soft texture and the filling inside is still cushy and the cat still likes it. I have two of these for different areas of the house.

After having this bed for 2 months my cat Billie finally started using this bed and she loves it. Unfortunately my other cat is a jerk to her and decided to pee in it. Luckily it's washable! However, even though the tag says you can tumble dry, when I pulled it out of the dryer the sides were all matted. The center of the donut is still fluffy and Billie still loves it, but be warned. It's kind of ugly now.
